Propper Tactical Duty Belt

Comment

I purchased 2 of these belts 1 in green and 1 black. They came in 2 shipments. The green one was a genuine proper you can tell by the quality and the belt buckle. The black one was a spinoff with no name on the buckle and the quality was not the same it was much thinner. Was not a bad belt but Amazon should not let spinoffs allowed in there sales. The description stated it would be a genuine proper belt with the proper name on the buckle. I order from Amazon frequently and now I am concerned if I am getting genuine produts

Great Belt! Simple, effective and works. All I could ever want! Believe it or not, sometimes you wish for a great belt and come up short on a few flaws on the design and function. My only worry is the Nylon buckle. How well does it hold up in extreme cold? Will it crack? I can see in normal conditions this will hold up maybe a lifetime. My comparison is my Army aluminum buckle with the same nylon webbing. You can see the black paint coming off on it, reviling the metal. By looking at both of them, off the bat you can judge witch will withstand most beatings from you and environmental conditions.

I agree with reviews that point out that this belt is way longer, as shipped, than the "sizing" would indicate. I ordered a 40-42, thinking that might be roughly the length of the belt itself and I could deal with it (I wear a size 32 waist). The belt that I received measured 51 inches. No problem, I also agree that its easy enough to trim down the length. I recommend cutting the belt to the length you want plus may 1/4 inch; you will get fraying; then use a soldering torch (or gas stovetop, or something), and slowly, evenly melt the frayed end; you will get sort of a globbed up melted end; then take an X-Acto knife or razor, and trim the glob carefully, slowly, to a straight even cut; then run it very lightly over the flame again just to firm up the clean cut. See pics. Also, I dont think theres any question about this being a genuine Propper belt. It has the label, including on the buckle, and is heavy-duty nylon. Good belt for the price and I didnt mind trimming it. The only downside is, you lose the nice angled, hardened end that comes on it, but thats not a deal breaker for me.

I purchased this item in both khaki and black. As some other reviews have questioned the authenticity of the belts I was skeptical to order, but figured that the price was cheap enough that even if they were fake rather than just leftover old stock theyd still work as casual belts. The nylon is ok. Doesnt seem as durable as my 5.11 belts or propper belts Ive seen in the past. The buckle is definitely short of measuring up. The plastic feels cheap and easily flexes when squeezing with my bare hands. Real tactical belts that are supposed to be of decent quality wouldnt do this. Also, the buckle is lacking the propper insignia. As for the belt itself, the stitching appears sloppy compared to authentic belts and the manufacturer label is noticeably crooked.. If this is a real propper belt then quality control has taken a serious decline.. Im almost positive that both the black and khaki belts I received are counterfeit.

----------------------- QUICK REVIEW ----------------------- So far so good with this belt, to be honest Ive never heard of or used a PROPPER belt so I have NO CLUE if its authentic or counterift. The belt is suited for on or off duty use, the PROPPER Nylon Duty Belt is designed to provide utility in any environment. The molded belt buckle allows for easy adjustments yet holds tight when loaded down. Heavy duty 1.5 inch wide nylon can withstand constant and long term use. I got a 32-34 waist belt and I am 33 waist and it fits perfectly on my pants or summer shorts. Belt is sturdy but there are definitely sturdier belts (that cost more). I use it to hold my holster for my PPQ or GLOCK 23 and it works great and keeps it up on my belt with ease. I also strap my knife and pepper spray to the belt. ----------------------- FEATURES ----------------------- - Nylon webbing - Imported - Heavy duty nylon webbing - Belt width - 1.5 Inch - Features PROPPER name and logo on the belt buckle ----------------------- PROS ----------------------- - Sturdy - Crazy Good Price - 1.5" Width - Overall Good Quality - Fits as Expected (32-34 Waist) - Versatile ----------------------- CONS ----------------------- - Could be sturdier - Plastic Buckle - Belt is Stiff - Hard to Tighten
